I thought the 14K at the Reebok was bad but 7515 was a pee turnout.
Those of us who did go are wishing we hadn’t wasted £20 now on that “entertainment” (and I use the word totally wrongly). :angry-banghead:
Don’t be surprised at Premier League sanctions if the deterioration continues. It’s reverting back to bog state.
Whats the betting this includes a release clause in it?

Fixed your typo.GentsPlease don’t take offence at being omitted – I simply did a quick list off the top of my head and from the posters that were posting around that time. I certainly didn’t spend too much time profiling (copyright MickyC) the whole board.
That makes me feel a bit better 8-)
Absolutely gutted to be left out of the in-crowd yet again. Story of my life. I’ll have to clock off now and go cry in my beer. Sniff.
I would say that old skem is more an extension of ormskirk than upholland to be honest.Then you’d be wrong. Historically, the links between Skem and Ormskirk are pretty well non-existent, hence the dislike by Skemmers of the Ormskirk-based council. Similarly, Up Holland and Skem were two separate identities until the powers that be decided that Skelmersdale New Town sounded like a good idea for Liverpool’s overspill and Up Holland ended up as an overspill for Skem, much to the disgust of the residents there.
Hmmm – the daily mail publishes a story just after midnight saying Figgs is going on strike because he couldn’t sort out his future on Tuesday??Nobody else is reporting it so unless a Daily Mail reporter took the time out to come to Wigan and spend a day with Figgs or Bob then I would dismiss this as a junior reporter trying to get some sort of story out into the paper.
I’m shocked that you could even think a newspaper as reputable as the Daily Mail might countenance printing an untruth in their honest, down to earth, responsible publication. Then again, I wouldn’t trust the lying to$$ers as far as I could spit.
I’d be more or less with you on that Colbob, and I am prepared to stick my neck out and say that neither Rodallega nor N’Zogbia will be sold this month. The summer maybe, but not January. Hope so anyway.Given he’s already publically started the summer sales with his quote, I think it’s fairly safe to say that at least some of our better players won’t be with us for the start of next season. As for my opinion of Whelan, I’m lucky not to have worked for him, so it’s a slightly distanced view.
His aim has always been to be Mr Wigan, which is largely why he bought into the three clubs in the area. I think he quickly realised that football was the highest profile, hence the demise of Orrell and dropping the chubsters like a hot potato. We’ve all gained from the ride to the Premiership, even if the holy grail has been a major disappointment.
He’ll sell the club as one of the few in the country on a break-even footing and will probably make a nice profit if he sells us while in the Premiership. The interesting times will come when we know who he’s selling us to.
James, please stop stalking me and desist from gegging in with the grown-ups.
Garfield’s on Boomerang soon, now run along

Julian Cope?
Can you be classed as paronoid if everybody really is against you ? :?
I stopped watching the rugby because every time they had a scrum I thought they were talking about me :shock: [/quote]
They were.
I’m sick of posting on sensible topics, so here’s a new song with an N’Zogbia theme. (Inspiration came from a Griff post the other day)To the tune of ‘How much is that doggy in the window’:
How much is that Zoggy on wing there?
The one who eats frogs’ legs and snails

Tell Bruce Zoggy’s not up for saleIt’s an original composition. Do you think it could catch on? Another glass of Chablis….
I believe Jack’s version is very slightly different
“How much is that Zoggy on the wing there?

Tell Bruce that our Zoggy’s for sale”It’s not so much him playing in a central striker role that I have a problem with, but more the lone striker role with a lack of support from midfield. The role of one forward here is a hold up/target man role and Hugo is too lightweight for that. Playing two up front with Scotland, or his replacement, doing the donkey work would suit him, but it’s going to be difficult getting Bobby to shift from his 4-5-1 ideas.
It’s an interesting move and one which will make him look a bit of a p if Burnley win. Personally, I see no reason why our overpaid primadonnas should find playing 40 games in a season a problem without being wrapped in cotton wool. I’ve always been a firm believer that you should always play your best side available, whoever you’re playing, if only as a duty you have to the paying fans.
One thing I’ll give him is that he doesn’t give up. He might, or might not, go on a scoring spree, but I’d be surprised if a striker wasn’t on the top of our January shopping list. Rods is too lightweight for that lone striker role, so we need bodies. We also desperately need a leader on the pitch, as we don’t have someone who can give the players the kick up the bum they often need.
